Frequently Asked Questions
What size are the Só Dança AC18 stretch pointe shoe ribbons?
The Só Dança AC18 ribbons come in one universal size, with 3 yards of ribbon per package. This length is standard for most pointe shoe applications and provides enough material to sew and tie ribbons on a full pair of pointe shoes.
How wide are the AC18 ribbons from Só Dança?
The AC18 ribbons are 7/8 inch wide, which is the traditional width used for ballet pointe shoe ribbons. This width provides full coverage across the ankle while maintaining an elegant, classic appearance on stage and in the studio.
How do the Só Dança AC18 stretch ribbons protect the Achilles tendon?
The AC18 ribbons are made with a stretchy matte fabric that gives slightly as the dancer moves, reducing the rigid pressure that non-stretch ribbons can place on the Achilles tendon. This elasticity allows for more natural ankle movement while still securing the pointe shoe firmly in place.
Are the AC18 ribbons suitable for performances and recitals?
Yes, the Só Dança AC18 stretch ribbons are designed for both studio use and performance. Their matte finish provides a clean, professional appearance under stage lighting, and they are available in Ballet Pink, making them suitable for recitals and showcases.
How should I care for Só Dança AC18 pointe shoe ribbons?
To preserve the integrity of the stretch fabric, hand washing in cool water with mild detergent is recommended. Lay the ribbons flat to dry and avoid wringing or machine drying, which can distort the elastic fibers and affect both the appearance and performance of the ribbons.
How do Só Dança AC18 stretch ribbons differ from standard satin pointe shoe ribbons?
Unlike traditional satin ribbons, which are non-stretch and can dig into the Achilles tendon during extended wear, the Só Dança AC18 ribbons are constructed with a stretch matte material. This provides the same secure fit and classic aesthetic as satin ribbons, while adding elasticity that reduces tendon stress, making them a preferred choice for dancers who experience discomfort with standard ribbons.
